About this fabric

This colourway reads as a dark, muted terracotta rather than a bright orange, with a red-brown cast that becomes especially rich in the shadowed areas of the swatch. Its dense, even face has a subtle tonal variation instead of a visible motif or pattern. A restrained low sheen gives the cloth a softly tactile appearance while keeping the overall impression warm and sophisticated. The substantial-looking weave makes it particularly convincing for upholstered pieces where this deep colour can provide visual weight.

How to use it

Use 22 Terracotta on a statement chair, sofa or headboard to bring a grounded, enveloping warmth to the room. Pair it with dark wood, aged metal and chalky cream or muted olive accents to balance its deep red-brown tone.

Use this deep, warm terracotta as a rich upholstery tone against dark timber, aged brass or softly contrasting neutrals.

22 Terracotta is a quiet cloth, so it carries a pattern beside it: one of these on the curtains and this on the chair. Mixed across the houses we hold, which is the part a single supplier's book cannot do.

Paint that goes with it

Two ways to take the room. Both colours are from houses we hold, so a pot can come off the same order as the cloth. Screens shift colour, so treat these as a direction and bring the cloth to the shelf before you buy the paint.
